Salmonella is a dreaded bacteria. When the environment is unclean, dirty and polluted, the bacteria sticks to almost anything, particularly food, vegetables, pets, unclean hands and all that that allows sticking.
Salmonella when ingested gets into the intestines and starts havoc. It causes poisoning of the inner membranes of intestines and results in frequent watery diarrohea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cramps and what not?
Fluids plenty is required to wash out the bacteria. If vomiting is present, fluid balances have to be maintained by drips directly into the blood stream through veins.
Though no anti biotics are necessary at the first instance, elderly as well as kids may need some sort of anti bacterial preparations like ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, oflaxin combined with metrogyl / tinadazole etc.
Please consult the doctor / your health provider immediately on symptoms. Do not allow the affected to get dehydrated.
